Dr. George has been great since the first appointment. He's very detailed with every visit and thorough. I've felt very comfortable with him doing surgery on my daughter and have no regrets. I'd recommend Dr. George because I didn't feel like my child was just a number coming through the door but more so his personal patient that he made a connection with. I'm happy to have found a Ortho that actually gave my daughter the right treatment with amazing results. Thank You Dr. George

My daughter is a patient of Dr. George for now two years. He is always courteous, easy to talk to, and attentive to my daughter.
His nurse, Nicole Orozco, is SUPERB! Her kindness, attentiveness, willingness to listen, and go out of her way to provide peace of mind was so unexpected and TOTALLY needed, that she just made a fan of me for life. Her empathy shows her passion for what she does. Nicole represents what a total professional in the nursing field should ALWAYS aspire to be.

I was beyond impressed with my experience with Dr. George and his staff. I was completely blown away by how helpful and kind he was to my nephew. Dr. G was really knowledgeable and made my family and I feel comfortable throughout the appointment! I would highly recommend him as a provider.

Dr. Stephen George has been a great doctor. I recommend him for anybody who need to have spinal surgery. Me as a patient, I didn't feel anything. Him and all of his team helped me out through every step of recovery. He cares for you as a patient, even though you think you can do what ever you want when recovering, he guides you well enough so you won't feel like you are being limited to your actions. Very good experience with him.

Dr.George and Nicole treated me in a great manner. When I had to have spinal surgery, I was crying a river full of tears. I found this out from another doctor, but the I found Dr.George and he explained everything in a good manner, and he put me as his first priority during the syrgery.

Dr. George, Nicole & the entire staff were incredible. My daughter had scoliosis surgery and they took the time to explain every detail of the procedure before, during and after. They treated us with dignity, respect & had my daughter's health as their main concern. They are available 24 hrs 7 days a wk to answer any question we might have. Dr. George has a phenomenal bed side manner and his calm demeanor helped us all through this stressful period. He is an excellent Doctor. Highly Recommended!

Dr.G/his team were amazing. My 17yr old son needed to have spinal surgery. At first glance, I thought he was too young, but I was so wrong. He is intelligent, well spoken, and has great bed side manner. As a parent, you can trust him with your child. Everytime we met with the Dr, he was informative and explained in detail my son’s medical condition as well as the surgical procedure. The team was available for questions and even to be a listening ear/spent time with us. MCH is lucky to have them.

Dr. George is an excellent doctor. He really listens and explains everything going on. He went above and beyond and really took the time to figure out what was my son's true diagnosis.

Background Check

Malpractice Claims

Medical malpractice is issued when negligence by a doctor causes injury to a patient. For example, a doctor may improperly diagnose, treat or medicate outside the standard of medical care. The three types of malpractice are: a settlement, an arbitration award, or a judgment.

If my doctor has malpractice history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?

If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact the quality of care you receive. Claim settlements and arbitration awards may occur for a variety of reasons, which should not necessarily reflect negatively on the doctor's professional competence or conduct.You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the doctor about his or her history and specific ability to provide healthcare for you.

How far back does Healthgrades malpractice history go?

Sanctions

No sanctions history found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.

A sanction, also known as a disciplinary action, is an action taken to punish or restrict a doctor who has demonstrated professional misconduct. Sanctions may be imposed by a state medical board, professional medical licensing organization, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

If my doctor has sanction history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?

If a doctor has a sanction, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor-quality doctor. Some sanctions are not related to medical care, and involve a doctor’s finances or administrative activities. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, we recommend that you evaluate the doctor’s sanction information and determine how severe or relevant you think the sanction cause and action were.

How far back does Healthgrades sanction history go?

Healthgrades reports state and federal sanctions from the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.

For which states does Healthgrades collect sanction history?

Since Healthgrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, Healthgrades website will show if a physician has a disciplinary action in more than one state.

Board Actions

Board actions are non-disciplinary actions imposed upon a doctor based on a complaint investigation. A patient or medical colleague may file a complaint with that state medical board or professional licensing organization, which then investigates the complaint. Board actions are intended to ensure that a doctor is able to perform safe medical and health care tasks.

Types of non-disciplinary actions include an advisory letter, a corrective action agreement, a limitation or restriction on the medical or healthcare tasks a doctor can perform, or a voluntary agreement by the doctor not to practice. A board action can also include a termination of a corrective action agreement or voluntary agreement, which allows the doctor to return to full practice.

If my doctor has a board action, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?

If a doctor has a board action, it means he or she has had a non-disciplinary action imposed upon him or her. It does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor quality doctor. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, evaluate the doctor's board action information and determine how severe or relevant you think the cause and action were.
